Sunburn! is the debut game from Secret Crush -- a three person studio founded by three alumni of the prestigious NYU Game Center MFA game design program. Originally a student project, the game was then specially selected for three months of full-time development as part of the NYU Game Center incubator in New York City.

Pros and cons of Sunburn! app for iPhone and iPad

Sunburn! app good for

There is no way ppl are beating sector 55 , its impossible Ive been trying to figure it out of hrs , I doubt anybody has completed this game 100% , if so please tell me Coz I dont believe it

This is a fun little game with easy to learn game mechanics and cute dialog. I havent beat it yet but I want more games like this. Simple play and entertaining banter and nice pixel graphics go a long way in my books. AND ITS NOT FREEMIUM!! Yaaaaay!

The art is great and the story just breaks my heart, but in a weirdly charming way? I love it so much!

Wish the dialog were easier to read while playing. Its a lost source of laughter leaving only parting words from one or two crew members per level. Mechanics are simple enough and dont get in the way of the objective.

This is a very clever & fun game. I really enjoy the art style, thematic sounds, quirky astronaut text bubbles, and unique puzzle gameplay. Good job devs!

Quite possibly the only game where dying is the objective. Great stuff!

Some bad moments

Level 58 was challenging, which made completing it very rewarding. I finished all the achievements except the 2 below. If you have tips on them, please let me know. - Stop Hitting Yourself - Unbelievable Orbit

I usually tend to just rate a game & not give it a review but I felt like this one deserved one. I hate it when iPhones games take forever to learn and this is one is super easy to get used to. Youll find yourself racing through the sectors trying to save all your mates. Definitely worth the .99¢.

It seems cute and all, but when you think about it, you spend all 40 levels dying with at least one crew member. Pretty sad game. Had fun and enjoyed every single puzzle.

But not a simple game. So far has been lots of fun. No bugs that I have run into. Looking forward to more levels.

Its honestly amazing that someone could create a game with this concept and not have it be the least bit tasteless but here we are. This game is a very rewarding experience of the physics puzzler variety. Its an easy buy, check it out, youll be glad you did. That said, Im totally stuck on level 55. Are you guys sadistic with that one or what? I hope more levels are coming in the future. And I hope theyre more fair than level 55. ;)

Great game. Starts off easy enough showing you the ropes and starts to become challenging but not overly so. I enjoyed the commentary. A little morbid but in a light hearted manner. Well done guys.
